I'm most worried about the Icelandic suicide bombers.

That's right. She is who Rush Limbaugh has been telling us to hate for over eight years now. Many will simply believe what they are told to believe - including WMDs. Rush Limbaugh and the many other Republican party mouthpieces have been telling us for at least a decade to hate Hilary Clinton. Not all of us are smart enough to ignore or demand 'reasons why' from those wacko extremist mouthpieces.

Pics required after a claim like that!

I was looking for Stiff Little Fingers on YouTube for the music thread, and came across this compilation of clips set to Alternative Ulster.

The song was neither pro or anti British, it was simply written about living in a war zone, and the young rising up to claim a reasonable living space. The clips (which are more biased) at least show what it was like to grow up in NI in the 70s.

I know I might witter on about this, but it was a huge thing for me, growing up Catholic in England. And in and around London, where many attacks took place (apols Birmingham, Manchester, Warrington et al). Terrorism has a huge impact on your life, especially if it happens somewhere you spend a lot of your time, and/ or your relatives live there.

America is simply too big to live under the fear of sustained terrorist attacks by Muslims. Those already inside your borders will be too easily corrupted by the American way of life, which offers so many more immediate pleasures than in a strictly Islamic state. And devout Muslims aren't bombers. You'd need thousands of fruitloops to kill on a scale even approaching the troubles (percentage wise).

If you have anything to fear it will come from those closest to you. Of course I hope not. And in fact I really don't think it will. Anyone want to make a bet on a terrorist attack in the US in the next year? I'll give you great odds.

BTW it's the album version of the song. I'll find a live one for the music thread, it's much dirtier (not the words, just the music)

Agree 100%. I used to live in a "very" Islamic neighborhood and all the kids growing up in the States act much more Western than Islamic.

Al-Qaida-linked Web site backs McCain as president

WASHINGTON (AP) - Al-Qaida supporters suggested in a Web site message this week they would welcome a pre-election terror attack on the U.S. as a way to usher in a McCain presidency.

The message, posted Monday on the password-protected al-Hesbah Web site, said if al-Qaida wants to exhaust the United States militarily and economically, "impetuous" Republican presidential candidate Sen. John McCain is the better choice because he is more likely to continue the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

"This requires presence of an impetuous American leader such as McCain, who pledged to continue the war till the last American soldier," the message said. "Then, al-Qaida will have to support McCain in the coming elections so that he continues the failing march of his predecessor, Bush."

SITE Intelligence Group, based in Bethesda, Md., monitors the Web site and translated the message.

"If al-Qaida carries out a big operation against American interests," the message said, "this act will be support of McCain because it will push the Americans deliberately to vote for McCain so that he takes revenge for them against al-Qaida. Al-Qaida then will succeed in exhausting America till its last year in it."

Mark Salter, a senior McCain adviser, said he had heard about the Web site chatter but had no immediate comment.

That last line says a lot to me. "No comment" Way to come off as being the strong leader he purports to be - NOT!
